"Hotter Than the Sun: Bizarre Object Discovered Orbiting Distant Star"
TL;DR Summary
An ultra-hot brown dwarf, WD0032-317B, is orbiting a white dwarf star at breakneck speed, with one side forever facing its star while the other faces away. The brown dwarf's surface temperature is a blistering 13,900 F, several thousand degrees hotter than the surface of our sun. The brown dwarf is being evaporated by its host star, which is slowly consuming its companion. Research on objects like WD0032-317B could help scientists understand how hot stars consume their companions and the conditions that stars need to ignite.
